When I was growing up, our town had a dozen stores. Now, some cities have exactly that. It is unlikely that this trend will reverse

my part of London in the top of a bus this week, I saw something on the road that comes from another time, it surprises me almost as much as the playwright and columnist Simon Gray was surprised when, from a taxi in Holland Park Avenue, he saw "a middle-aged man in a suit walking down the sidewalk sensitive, smoking a pipe." The year was 2005. "He gave me the jitters," Gray wrote in the last volume, but one of his memoirs. "It must have been the first man who had smoked a pipe for years, my instinct was to yell at him through the window to be careful, there may be a cop around, so I thought it might have been an accident while returning home ... [I] to return to where they came from, the 1980s, the 1970s, when ... "

What I saw was not a person but a sign. MATERIALS AND STORE OPENING DIY Then he said, in the capitals of Nice big spread in a store near remember long been called smoke cigarettes and as the type of equipment - pipe cleaners pipes knives, bags of ready-rubbed Condor - he could be in the pockets of the man spotted Simon Holland Park. In this street, many stores like - that stores daily and utilities - have closed their doors over the last 30 years, to be replaced by restaurants, bars and luxury emporia for all of the pie lemon and polenta retro toys tin. A new shop selling drain cleaner, brooms and floor sanders should definitely be bucking all the trends in retail, despite the hardware, formerly known as hardware stores, tend to survive on main roads, long after cooking fruits and vegetables and butchers were swept away. Perhaps this is because the hardware has always been the store A & E -. A clogged drain or a bulb became urgent need to remedy rotten sausage

But it was strange to see a sign, but it was still strange to be a little high for her. The stores were until recently as a familiar part of each and unexamined urban landscape and memories of childhood - at least of children accompanying their mothers - places that have caused boredom and impatience. There were many of them. The city has grown, many containing not more than 1000 people, was served for nearly a dozen shops, including a butcher, a wool shop, a post office, a grocery store with a license screen appearance Keystone sad bottles of Burgundy, and a bakery which was really more of a tray of sweets that Ms. Fraser was placed in the window of his forehand.

Much was expected. None of this seems likely. A new hardware is in a prosperous street in north London is one thing, but think of shopping died in almost any industrial city: the download pop-up would be needed there! The future of these streets is certainly the destiny of the people with whom I grew up, where every store, but it was demolished or two became the ground floor of a house. It would be hard to imagine today that trade ("It's a penny for their liquorice and sherbet for two sub") existed in these rooms on the television.
